Inject new property corresponding to each injected dependency version about maven-dependency-management-extension HOT 7 CLOSED

the result in the effective POM would look like:

<properties>
  <version.org.foo-bar>1.2</version.org.foo-bar>
</properties>

from maven-dependency-management-extension.

How do we handle the scenario where are project is using

org.foo-bar.version

and VMan was used to map the original property to the new on e (https://github.com/jdcasey/pom-version-manipulator#property-modification)

I think you could continue to use v-man to map the property name from one string to another. Also, you can try to push property name changes to the upstream projects, so that they better conform to whatever standard we set.

I agree we could try and push name changes but I'm sure there will always be a project that doesn't conform or a third party we can't change. Actually vman changes the value of the old property and injects the new mapped value ... so I am not sure we could continue to use vman to do it because we need the value of the new property from the dependency extension.

What if we had a new feature where you specify a remote pom on the command line, similar to how dependency or plugin management is specified. The extension reads that remote pom and looks at all the propoerties, and then adds or overrides those properties in the current build?

What's the advantage of that over simply reflecting the injected dependencies via properties? I suppose one side effect would be that you could have any sort of property in the referenced POM and get it injected...which may not be a great thing (maven.test.skip, for instance).

I've added the property injection. It defaults to the property format "version:[groupId]:[artifactId]=[version]", but you can customize the prefix, suffix, and GA separator. I put some information in the readme in the section "Using Dependency Properties".
